NEW MEXICO RAID 
Cycle through the Land of Enchantment. 

New Mexico offers high desert vistas and seemingly unlimited rolling hills and mountains, while the towns we visit on this Raid will surprise with their laid-back vibe.  There is a deep Native American heritage here, as well as newer American and Mexican-influenced culture and cuisine – this is spiritual cycling through timeless landscapes that have inspired peoples and artists beyond memory. Ride to over 10,000ft on hard climbs and deserted roads, all supported in signature RAID style with the highest levels of service. 

"Pedaling through New Mexico is not just a physical journey; it's an  immersion into the spirit of the Land of Enchantment. The open roads beckon you to explore the very heart of the American Southwest,  where each turn reveals a new facet of this captivating state, leaving  you with a profound appreciation for the synergy of nature, culture, and  the allure of the open road."
— Brad Sauber - RAID CEO

IN THE EVENT THAT WE CANCEL YOUR TRIP

We will provide you with a $150 credit to use on another RAID trip departing over the proceeding two years. You will also be entitled to: (a) book any other available trip; or (b) receive a full refund of all monies paid; and we will not be liable for any flight or insurance costs you have incurred (it is for this reason that we recommend you delay booking flights and arranging insurance until your trip is confirmed). We reserve the right to stop you from participating on your trip if you: behave in an abusive and/or threatening manner; or engage in illegal activities.

TRANSFERRING YOUR TRIP

Should a business or personal emergency cause you to not be able to go on your trip, you may transfer to any other trip, which: has space available on it; and is scheduled to depart within two years of the trip you originally signed up for. There is no charge for transferring all of your payments to another trip. Transfers made 60 days or fewer in advance will be considered a cancellation, and our standard cancellation policy will apply.
